Rancheria of California; and Tule River
Indian Tribe of the Tule River
Reservation, California.
Officials of the California Department
of Parks and Recreation have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of a minimum of 122
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the California
Department of Parks and Recreation also
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 6,072 objects
listed above are reasonably believed to
have been placed with or near
individual human remains at the time of
death or later as part of the death rite
or ceremony. Lastly, officials of
California Department of Parks and
Recreation have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is
a relationship of shared group identity
that can be reasonably traced between
the Native American human remains
and associated funerary objects and the
Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi
Indians of California; Santa Rosa Indian
Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California (also known as the
Tachi Yokut Tribe); Table Mountain
Rancheria of California; and Tule River
Indian Tribe of the Tule River

Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should

Coordinator, California State Parks,
Cultural Resources Division, 1416 9th
Street, Room 902, Sacramento, CA
95814, telephone (916) 653–7976, before

Rosa Indian Community of the Santa
Rosa Rancheria, California (also known
as the Tachi Yokut Tribe); Table
Mountain Rancheria of California; and
Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule
River Reservation, California may
proceed after that date if no additional

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural
Items: California Department of Parks
and Recreation, Sacramento, CA
National Park Service, Interior.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent
to repatriate cultural items in the
possession of the California Department
of Parks and Recreation, Sacramento,
CA, that meet the definition of
‘‘unassociated funerary objects’’ under
25 U.S.C. 3001.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations
in this notice are the sole responsibility
of the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the cultural
items. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
The cultural items are two steatite
beads collected by Frank F. Latta some
time between 1927 and 1932. Notes
from Mr. Latta indicate that the beads
were burial related and came from
either the Leaning Rock Burial or Bear
Creek Burial. Neither of the sites has
been identified. Mr. Latta donated the
beads to the California Department of
Parks and Recreation on July 24, 1988.
The two beads are consistent with the
types used by the Northern and
Southern Valley Yokuts. Mr. Latta
collected extensively in the historic
territory of the Yokuts. Considering the
totality of the circumstances, it is likely
that this collection is Yokuts.
A detailed assessment of the cultural
items was made by the California
Department of Parks and Recreation
Committee on Repatriation in
consultation with representatives of the
Santa Rosa Indian Community of the
Santa Rosa Rancheria, California (also
known as the Tachi Yokut Tribe) and
the Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule
River Reservation, California. Because
there is no historical affiliation for this
collection beyond its general Yokuts
attribution, the California Department of
Parks and Recreation considers the
PO 00000
Frm 00108
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
beads to be culturally affiliated with all
federally recognized present-day Yokuts
tribes.
Officials of the California Department
of Parks and Recreation have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(B), the cultural items described
above are reasonably believed to have
been placed with or near individual
human remains at the time of death or
later as part of the death rite or
ceremony and are believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of an Native American individual.
Officials of the California Department of
Parks and Recreation also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (2), there is a relationship of
shared group identity that can be
reasonably traced between the
unassociated funerary objects and the
Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi
Indians of California; Santa Rosa Indian
Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California (also known as the
Tachi Yokut Tribe); Table Mountain
Rancheria of California; and Tule River
Indian Tribe of the Tule River
Reservation, California.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the two steatite beads
should contact Paulette Hennum,
NAGPRA Coordinator, California
Department of Parks and Recreation,
1416 Ninth Street, Sacramento, CA
95814, telephone (916) 653–7976 before
July 1, 2005. Repatriation of the two
steatite beads to the Picayune Rancheria
of the Chukchansi Indians of California;
Santa Rosa Indian Community of the
Santa Rosa Rancheria, California (also
known as the Tachi Yokut Tribe); Table
Mountain Rancheria of California; and
Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule
River Reservation, California may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The California Department of Parks
and Recreation is responsible for
notifying the Picayune Rancheria of the
Chukchansi Indians of California; Santa
Rosa Indian Community of the Santa
Rosa Rancheria, California (also known
as the Tachi Yokut Tribe); Table

notice has been published.
